Now all the foolery is over I can concentraite on the thread at hand :lol:.
These are fantastic pics, Deb thanks so much for sharing them and I look forward to seeing the videos :heart: :metal:.

Heli what fab legs!! :lol:

sounds like you all had a great time,thanks for posting great pics Deb and Heli,

Heli would have had a better time than we did Barb as she likes Pontins, Queen and has many friends there lol. not that we don't like Queen but we would never have gone to one of their conventions :shock:

This weekend has to go down as being the worst thing i've done in the name of Meat or Meat related stuff. And it made me realise just how much i need all my NLE under the one roof lol. So the 'bring back Patti campaign' is well and truly under way :lol: I can't stand another weekend in a Pontins chalet lol.

So Patti touring Pontin's in the Summer wouldn't solve your holiday problems Deb? lol

was that bad eh Deb,never been myself a couple of friends have and said it was crap,pictures are great,little ones are lovely,Chloe looks so much like you..i would definately support "bring back Patti"campaign,she is awesome...

No M lol, Butlins I could cope with but not Pontins :shock:

Thanks Barb, she really reminds me of me in the pic of her with Jeff lol.

here's the first of the videos..

Patti singing Chain of fools.

Thanks to Steph for the video. Stephs are much less distorted than mine so i'll add Stephs first. mine are a lot more distorted but I think I got about all of patti on stage lol. So it's quality versus quantity ;)

Another one bites the dust..

Fantastic! :mrgreen: Thanks Deb & Steph. Can't see any pics of you two on stage with Patti though. :bleh:

(I can't believe how much Chloe & Jake have grown since I saw them last ... it's been too long!) lol

Diane

Aww thanks love! :mrgreen: If you liked that, you should have seen them in my heels ;)! LOL


And Deb's right, you have to really wanna be there for the whole weekend to grin and bare Pontins, although in all honesty I dont think it's too bad....the only awful part if the beds. But I only actually slept in mine once, so I avoided the pain and agony of the single crappy bed! :p

There should so be a Meat Loaf convention, it'd be hilarious!! :-P

LOL Di, we had to stay off and miss the fun in the line of duty, so someone could post the videos :lol: things we do for you all eh :lol:

Don't worry Di you get to see them pretty soon :-) They are both sooo excited eevrytime they see Patti on my computer now. They can't work out how they was there speaking to her one min and now she's on the monitor lol.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but Meat fans say Patti totally different to how anyone else does. Others say exactly the same thing but it just doesn't have the same ring to it. No matter how many times Jake and chloe say it, it still suprises me lol. I noticed it with Queen fans all weekend as well lol.

Heli you must have your glasses off or be drunk the whole time you're in them chalets if you think it's only the beds thats bad lol. And I have pictures to prove its not just the beds :-P

Memories of waking up to the quacking of ducks right outside your window, stepping over the evidence that those same ducks spent a good deal of time outside the door as well (and on every walkable surface at Pontin's), and then walking around those lovely chalets in such a way that your feet never actually have contact with that carpet, all do have a certain charm to them. I should have known something was up when the UK immigration officer glanced at the destination I wrote down and then looked at me with raised eyebrows and asked, "Really?? Why, uhmmm, Pontin's at Brean Sands?"

Thanks for uploading those videos, Deb. I'm sorry about the quality vs. quantity thing. I just have such a hard time watching the performance on my camera's little screen when the real thing is right there in front of me. I know I'm always grateful for the pics and vids later on, though. You really do sacrifice a tiny bit of your own enjoyment of a show when you capture the experience to share with everyone. I am a constant frustration to you at these shows, aren't I :D But at least I did try the Marmite. Thanks for that lovely experience, as well!! :-P I think I can still taste it.........

Steph

And is the after taste a good or a bad thing in your opinion?

Really need to get out of work as soon as possible today so I can watcch these vids with the sound turned up!!

Marmite does tend to linger Steph lol.

And no, you're never a frustration :cool:

I forgot about the ducks :shock: if they had been cats or dogs i'd remember much more :twisted:

Deb

Meaning is it better or worse than the initial taste??? :D

I did not actually enjoy either one, I'm sorry to say. All that anticipation................:(

Even your kids were watching to make sure no one, including me, stepped in anything and tracked it into our lovely chalet. You have them trained so well!! :-P

Wow :heart: !!

Thanks Steph for filming these and thanks Deb for uploading them !!
She looks and sounds amazing... As always :cool:.

As Deb said, she really wasn't feeling well and told the crowd at the beginning she'd even lost her voice a few days prior. She may have fought her way through the show, but you'd never know it! Even Patti's voice at 50% is a remarkable thing. Not that it was, however she managed to pull it off that night! The crowd was so much fun that night, and so receptive, too. Perhaps because when she first came on stage, she introduced herself as just another Queen fan! :D

Great :)) More for me then :)) :cheer:

You're more than welcome to my share too!

Diane

Today gets better and better :)) Patti vides to watch and more Marmite :))

You can have mine as well...
